G'day Everyone,

Megs and I are on our way to NSW!

We're still in QLD, but by 5th October we'll be in NSW looking for some great spots we can sail.

We're still fairly new to the sport so we're looking for spots that are fairly sheltered and have flat water. We'll be spending some time in the water perfecting waterstarting and (I hope) gybing.

Any suggestions will be great!

We're also happy to sail with anyone if they can get some time to come out with us.

Hi Wino.

We'll definatley be going to Yamba.

We're working out when we'll be there.

At the moment it's looking like we'll be there early next week.

We're going to get the map out tonight and pan the northern NSW tonight.

Myall & Wallis lakes near Foster are supposed to be good.Lake Macquarie near Newcastle has somewhere to sail in any wind direction but probably not a lot of good spots to learn to waterstart unless you just walk out waist deep.

Sanctuary Point , on the sth coast (St Georges Basin) is a great spot for mastering your water starts, it has a good section of waste deep water. Great spot

We've been there 12 months ago when we first started windsurfing.

That is the most magical place to us. We can't wait!!!!!

So, is anyone going to meet us there?

Vando from Qld & me from Sydney will be there from 9th Oct for a week & 2 weeks respectively.
Great flat water spot. Rig at Whiting beach & sail behind the wall. Magic

We're now in Yamba and will be here until the 9th October.

I hope we'll be able to catch up.

Plan to arrive lunch time on sat 9th.
Look for Honda with 2 boards on top at Whiting Beach or parked at Pippie Beach

cheers

went down to whiting beach and the signs say no sailboards

Sorry Wineman,

We had a good look at Yamba today and decided to leave. There was a definate lack of wind and the water was very very brown. I can't believe the surfers were out there.

We're now in Port Maquarie and we're wondering if there's any windsurfing here?

Good to meet you and Megs yesterday Geoff. Looks like you will have good wind all this week.

Enjoy the rest of your trip and we might see you at Huskisson in two weeks time when the NSW Formula circus rolls into town.

Cheers
James
